London restaurant makes second attempt to reinstate worker banned over “safety of women and girls”

A London restaurant is making a second attempt to bring back a worker who has been banned, with the business citing safety concerns tied to women and girls. According to reporting, the restaurant’s latest application follows an earlier bid that did not succeed. The Metropolitan Police have criticised the move, saying it appears to be an effort to “circumvent” the existing ban rather than address the underlying concerns. The dispute centers on whether the worker should be permitted to return to their role in spite of the restriction. Details on the specific reasons for the original ban and the worker’s circumstances are not fully outlined in the available excerpts. The restaurant’s position is that bringing the worker back would not undermine safeguarding, while the police view the repeated application as a workaround of enforcement action. Both outlets describe the restaurant’s action as a renewed legal or administrative effort, occurring despite the police’s objections.
